## Summary

Senior full-stack and frontend-driven engineer with 26 years of research-driven software development — 20+ of them in front-end and UX. I build beautiful, useful products people love to use. My niche: encoding a design system where coding agents actually read it, so generated code lands on pattern instead of drifting from it. Persistence, curiosity, obsessive attention to detail, and a strong bias toward action.

## Skills

- **Front end:** Angular (v21: standalone components, signals, native control flow), TypeScript, RxJS, React, JavaScript, HTML, CSS, Sass, responsive design, accessibility, design systems, component libraries
- **Back end:** .NET 9, C#, ASP.NET Core, REST API design, Entity Framework Core, SQL Server, ClickHouse
- **Design:** Figma, design tokens, coded components, user research, lo-fi → hi-fi prototyping, Apache ECharts data viz
- **AI-assisted development:** Claude Code, Cursor, MCP tooling, agent skills/hooks, AGENTS.md instruction bridges, pattern audits, schema-aware code generation
